Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[Captain Canada]

Cool. I like the look of it, and the paint scheme. Very '30s !

[NARSES2]

Yup that does look good

This is 2 of 3 in my movie models...but what it was meant to be was a Mercedes Benz G5 medium car! There is a Russian model company that make a G5 and this vehicle is nothing like it! By the way...this is the Nazi Car that flies off the cliff in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". To this day, I still haven't worked out what they used to make the vehicle..but going with size, and being a 4x4 it could have been any 4x4 available at the time, including a GAZ 69.

That's a beauty right there. And I remember the scene well. In fact I just watched it the other day !

Rear view of that typical Hollywood Nazi Car.

Nice ! Always been a fan of scale tarps, or canvas covers I guess. Looks like she's heading for the edge as well....Indy had better jump !

[Glenn]

These are two projects I started last year...both in 1/48. The top one is a twin engine C-130 used in Vietnam and the other is a 1928 version of a Ju-52/3M.

As for the Nazi Car....I think the off driver and rear gunner have already jumped!

[Captain Canada]

Twin engine C-130 eh ? Have you been reading some of McColms threads ?

[Tophe]

[Captain Canada]

Woooosh....... right over my head lol

I see it now. Now that it has been brought to my attention 

[nighthunter]

Glenn, that would be the C-123

[Glenn]

Yeah, a C-123...minus the 'Agent Orange', or the one from Die Hard 2!.............maybe?

Glenn

[Captain Canada]

Is that the one where it flies through hell and then gets it's wings knocked clean off by a light pole ? Or was that a Nicholas Cage movie ?

[nighthunter]

Operation Dumbo Drop, Air America to name a few more... Con Air is the one Cap is thinking of.
